Mama's Daily Dose

We all have highs and lows in life... its part of being human.

Lows can last from a few days to a few years. What do these low points all have in common?

When I had PPA (postpartum anxiety) I was stuck in a cycle of anxiety, fear and guilt. I felt I couldn't get out and was simply trying to survive each day.

So what did PPA and my wedding have in common?

“There is one quality which one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it.” - Napoleon Hill "Think and Grow Rich"

Classic quote from a classic book.

When we think of winning and success in life that is different for each individual.

As a Mom Success Coach - success looks different for everyone, it is defined by YOUR purpose. The way you achieve your purpose and your success is by having a FEELING...a DEEP burning desire to possess it and achieve it.

Life is all about feelings - our decisions are made on our emotions. Emotion gets you IN motion.

Do you have that desire in life? If not, that's okay it's in you...its there. If you don't have some grand goal or mission in life...listen in and see what you can do.

There is no wrong answer. What feels right for you?

How often do you think about your future?

You think about what your kids will be when they grow up, but do you take the time to think about what YOU want to be when you grow up?

Our children change so much in a year, but so do you Mama! You are constantly changing along side them.

Where do you want to be 1 year from now? Who are you? What are you doing? What are you feeling?

Start your week off with an affirmation made just for you - a MamAffirmation.

We talked last week about how you know YOU best!

You know what you want. It's in there, you may not have discovered it yet or accepted it...but only you know what YOU truly want.

You can discover it at a young age...or possibly later. Maybe you're the next Martha Stewart with a cooking show at 72 years old with Snoop Dogg.

Repeat the MamAffirmation!

Quiet is such a funny thing when you're a mom! Things are hectic and loud and all you want is some quiet! Then you get said quiet...but you aren't sure what to do with it. Then you start thinking of all the things you "should" or "could" be doing instead of enjoying this quiet.

Even though you want it so bad, it is a practice to embrace and enjoy the quiet...and even find it at time. Here's how you can find and embrace it.

"The most common mistake we make is looking outside of ourselves for what we can only find within."
- Dr. Dennis Kimbro from "The Wealth Choice. Success Secrets of Black Millionaires"

When you have a tough decision to make, who do you turn to? Do you ask your partner, Mom, friends, the internet?

So often we look outside of ourselves for answers that can only come from within. You know yourself the best. You have the gut feeling. Trust it.

What's your favorite color? Does your partner or best friend know your favorite color? They may know your favorite color and some of your deepest, darkest secrets...but who really knows you best?

Who hangs out with you all day, everyday? Has been around for all the experiences? All the highs and lows?

Look to the person who know you best for the answers and advice you seek.

Lots of personal development people, parenting experts, and even doctors often focus on doing MORE.

You already DO so much, Mama. What if you don't need to actually DO anything more, what if if you have everything already and you aren't utilizing it?

You can have MORE without doing more.

You know those "gut feelings" that "mom intuition" the "6th sense?" 

All of these are you! You know you the best. Listen to yourself, trust yourself.

"I listen to myself."

You are a wealth of knowledge and experience, Mama and you will never meet another person that know you better than you!
